The Code

I am going to blog today about...the Code of the Woosters.  Fascinating book.  The best part of that book is when just uses the first letter of a noun.  For instance he would say something like, "I am going to eat some f".  What a great idea.  In fact it such a great idea that I have been trying to emulate this in a sense by trying to use it sometimes.  Like, "I love writing on my b". Ahhhh, what a great tool.  Imagine you are in a pinch and you only have five seconds to say something (can't think of when that would ever happen, except this ) and you have to say "Get me some money and a gun".  All you would have to say if you knew such a handy tool as this is, " Get me some m and a g". Great. You just saved your life.  That's all I have to say for this w.

I had a dream

After reading the title you are probably not thinking that this is going to be an interesting blog because everybody has dreams.  However you are very wrong. My dream last night was so insane and slightly hilarious (probably because I took a Nyquil, idk though)

My dream started off somewhere in Germany, no idea where.  I'm not really aware of any location or towns in Germany except Berlin. Anyways, it started in Germany, during the time of World War II (maybe the first, it doesnt really matter).  Here I was, a captain in the American army during the time of a World War, in a room about the size of a medium-sized closet.  With me, there was about 20 other people and we were all being shot at.  Oh, I forgot to mention that the room was all glass.  Shooting + glass = not good.  Then for some reason my dream like skipped forward a couple days.  I have no idea why.

Well then I suddenly appeared at a park with a Pavilion and a tether-ball pole.

So here we are at a park with a tetherball pole and suddenly I just see one of the leaders of the other army (maybe Hitler?) tied to the tetherball pole and I was the one who taught him.  So we thought the warm was over, but then all of a sudden we hear shots coming from this field near by.  Naturally I, and I think at this point I was with my uncle (?), sister (?), and David Tate (?); well we decided to make a run for it. So apparently my uncle was an indian and owned a horse, so we went to his little horse stable thing and were hiding from the people that were shooting at us.

Then, so random, like all my extended family and the rest of my immediate family all came riding down the hill on bikes.

They looked almost exactly like the people above ( not at all).  Anyways they all came down on bikes and we just hopped on some extra bikes, no idea we got them and rode of into the distance, never to go back.  And that was how my dream ended.

Starry Unicorns

For my blogpost this week I am going to focus on something that is near to my heart.  Starry Unicorns.  No I am not talking about the magical beasts that you would see in a Barbie movie.        

I am talking about the Starry Unicorns made up of pride, valiance, and winners.  For those of you who still don't know what I am talking about, I guess I will just have to tell you.  The Starry Unicorns were an indoor soccer team, est. 2010, that played throughout the winter that year and ultimately ended up being the best team in the CISL league based in Maplewood.  

Those of you who don't think this is a big deal, I want you to stop reading now because you are not worthy of beholding the greatness of the Starry's. The regular season is really not that important at all, except for the fact that we only lost one game, Nbd.
Moving on to the playoffs/tournament (this is where is gets exciting).  Since we were the number 2 seed we would have to play 2 games in a row if we won the first game.  Our team was more focused on winning the first game and we really didn't even care if we won the second game.  The first had us playing a team that we knew a few of the players on the team.
From the get go, everybody knew this was going to be an intense  game.  Actually all through the game and overtime the game was tied which sent the two teams in to penalty kicks.  Through the first three penalty kicks no one had scored.  Jimmer stepped up to take the 4th penalty kick (with a unicorn horn on incidentally) and buried it in the bottom of the net.  Sadly the next kid for the other team made his penalty kick as well.
It went on like this for about 5 more penalty kicks until Jimmer stepped up again to take his second penalty, and once again he made the most of the opportunity.  That won the game for the Starry Unicorns who would now advance to the championship game.  In the game, Jimmer (another Jimmer) scored the only goal of the game with 5 seconds left in the first half to give us the win and the championship.
